From what I have heard, Noah had that same quandary.

Obviously, like all boatbuilders and gardeners, you're an optimist!

Hope you have better luck
with your dog than I did with mine.
My dog, a mixed up breed from the pound, loves to go boating. At messabouts
he is the first creature abaord when we launch and the last out. He did go into
the water one time, and I don't know if he slipped on the wet foredeck or if
he jumped overboard to chase some pelicans (The birds not the boats) But a
quick come about by the tiller person and the crew grabbing his collar soon had
him aboard again.
One of our fellow messabout sailors did lose his dog overboard and an
extensive search of the bay did not find the pooch, only to find the wet dog waiting
for him when he finally sailed back to our launch beach.
Now when sailing he wears a harnass (regular dog walking harness) and a leash
to the mast long enough to let him sit on the foredeck as a lookout and short
enough to drag him into the cockpit if he should end up wet again.
